An original and highly unusual missionary postcard depicting: Mr. Waris-ul-Din of the Church Missionary Society, Narowal, Sialkot District, Punjab, India. The portrait shows Waris-ul-Din wearing a turban and Western-style suit, reflecting the unique cultural and religious environment of missionary activity in Punjab during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Particularly interesting is the contemporary handwritten inscription across the image, apparently signed and dated 1908, together with additional manuscript Urdu writing on the reverse. Unlike standard topographical postcards, this is a named portrait card documenting a specific individual associated with missionary work in colonial Punjab. A scarce and historically significant item relating to Punjab history, Christian missions in India, Narowal, Sialkot, and early twentieth-century portrait photography. Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description. ⸻ Historical Background The Church Missionary Society (CMS) was one of the most active missionary organisations operating throughout British India. Punjab became an important centre for educational, medical, and religious missionary work during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Narowal formed part of the historic Sialkot District of Punjab and was home to a number of missionary activities and educational initiatives. Named portrait postcards such as this were often produced to introduce local missionaries, teachers, converts, or community leaders to supporters and church networks both in India and abroad. The survival of a named and dated individual portrait from Punjab makes this a considerably scarcer item than standard scenic postcards. ⸻ Date 1908 (Date appears within the contemporary inscription on the front.) ⸻ Publisher Church Missionary Society Narowal, Sialkot, Punjab, India ⸻ Condition Good antique condition. Period manuscript inscriptions to both front and reverse. Minor age-related wear and handling marks consistent with age.
